Dear Community Supporters, Business Owners and Chamber Members,

The Rahway Chamber of Commerce (RCC) is pleased to announce our 2018 Fashion Show and Silent Auction fundraising event to be held during the afternoon of Sunday, January 28th 2018 at the Firehouse Pub in Rahway.

This popular event is sure to sell out and limited seating is available. The afternoon will consist of lunch, a parade of high fashions and accessories, music, and a silent auction where our guests have fun bidding on donated items such as gift baskets, gift certificates and a mix of other lovely items.

To ensure our fundraising continues to be a success, we are seeking donations from local businesses of items for the auction such as gift certificates or goods for baskets, or even monetary donations that will be used to purchase items for the silent auction. A portion of the proceeds from this event will go directly towards helping our local food pantry, “Rahway Food for Friends,” to help feed those less fortunate than us.

The RCC’s mission is to promote well being in Rahway for Business and Community in general. We are an active group of volunteers who rely on your support for our events and programs.

We are grateful for any donation to support this project and we will provide appropriate recognition of your business at the event along with tax identification information upon request and receipt of your charitable gift. You may call me directly at 516-330-9824, and I will be eager to assist you with your donation. We deeply appreciate your serious consideration of our request.
